Awesome to see the Sea Nymph getting so much time on the water

Catching perch that size is actually more fun for the kids if you are on top of a school, lots of action

That trolling set up looks great, nice work hauling in the walleye and salmon.

The drift sock idea is a great one, in some waves they will help stabilize the boat as a bonus.

Nice work on the rig, glad you've been able to get her out on the big lake

Yup maddie, it's spectacular, an absolute dream piece of very rare Lake Michigan waterfront property. Sandy beach and 10 full acres of wood, one in a million. Check it out...

I'd sell it too! Should be some great diver hunting there and there's always Sylvania for smallies.

Beautiful location, looks like you guys had fun. I'm a little sad to hear that leaves are starting to change... I guess the aspens in Colorado start to go pretty quick here too. Sounds like a dream. When you wrap up the boat are you going to do a shrink wrap job? Just curious, my friend says its not too tough to do it yourself, but its also not too expensive to have it done. I know you have limited inside storage too.

Looks like you all had a fine time in UP... hey I even know where it is now! I'm trying to find some old photos of my kids sailing and fishing/generally mucking around in boats, however, in the meantime your great photos are enough to remind me of the good times we had back then. So thank you Jason, nice work!

Hey thanks fellas, yah we had a blast, man was a great vacation. I've been burning busy every day since we've been back, rats.

850 - Nah, I just have good boat cover is all. I am sure I'll take that Sea Nymph out a few more times before the snow flies, so, she isn't yet completely put away

OK, so I thought I'd try to bring this thread to a close here.

This super fun Sea Nymph was horse traded for the big one...
http://forums.iboats.com/starcraft-boats/1983-26-starcraft-sf-261v-rebuild-630710.html

I certainly have mixed feelings on the swap. Boat "value" wise I believe I was on the short end of this deal. I'm ok with it though. That 26 footer is so rare, and that ^^^^ is the exact hull version of the 26 that I really wanted. So, in the end, it's all good.

This Sea Nymph no doubt was very versatile and it will be hard to fill the void. She'll be missed, but I still have the Mirro Craft for the thin water, the 261 will be for the big lakes, and the Islander will now be for everything in between. She'll mainly serve as our family fun boat:joyous:

Anyway, thanks for helping me out on this project and bumping me along guys. Your support has been really appreciated!:becky:

I am unsure how to allow the pictures to load of your project. I know this project was many years ago but if by chance you still have some of the information surrounding this build I would like to review it. I just got a 1980 Sea Nymph that I am preparing for it to be my first complete restore. Thank you for any help and assistance you can give.
